JAB Construction Co Ltd

unknown

There were two or three different subcontractors that were completing the work, overseen by JAB. The crews were very professional and they did an excellent job replacing all of the defective work, with careful attention to detail. There was also some interior and exterior painting involved, which turned out very well. Any questions we had about the work were carefully attended to and resolved. We are extremely pleased with the overall outcome of this project. The crew also did a nice job cleaning up debris from our property as well as our neighbor's. We would highly recommend JAB for this type of work.

Our large Master bedroom (addition, about 40 years old on concrete pad) had been leaking water from patio and side concrete path through French sliding doors and opposite wall, staining carpet badly, for a number of years. I had had numerous contractors over to try and fix the problem -- adding more and more layers of sealant outside where the stucco met the patio tile and/or concrete pathway down the side of the house. Nothing seemed to work. Jeff Bressler was the only specialized waterproofing contractor I found on Angie's List -- I was so impressed with his diagnosis of the problem and his prospective solutions, that I hired him on without getting any competitive bids. Jeff and his crew were professional and efficient from start to finish. I really felt I was in competent and professional hands for the first time. He not only completely fixed the problem, but ended up re-doing and fixing shoddy work of prior contractors, including the shoddy original installation of the sliding doors which had caused most of the water problems. I'm no construction expert, but I was there most of the time and could see, step by step, the quality work that was being done, and the top notch, quality materials being used. Jeff's crew were prompt, courteous and cleaned up well behind them. They were in constant touch with Jeff, and he would come over regularly to the jobsite to inspect progress and trouble shoot any problems -- and there were a few once the doors were out and things were more exposed. The finishing stucco and painting were excellent -- you can't tell where the old meets the new at all. I also much appreciated the (unpaid!) time Jeff took to answer other questions I had about the house, give the house a quick inspection all round, and give me suggestions on what to do to further waterproof and improve the house. JAB does a lot of commercial waterproofing work besides residential -- they are top-notch all round, and I would not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone else.

Jeff spent time with me at various retailers/showrooms and helped me figure out what to buy (who knew there were so many varieties of sinks, tile and fixtures?!?!). He allowed me to select the style but gave me helpful input regarding what to look for in particular items. I now know more about tile than I ever thought I would! Jeff's crew and subs are top notch. They are very conscientious, responsive and take pride in their work. They treated my elderly father with dignity, which I really appreciated. When I found certain things that were not done correctly or that needed touch ups, Jeff and his peeps responded quickly. I think the only major issue we ran into was that the medicine cabinet ended up not being recessed as I had requested, but it was not the end of the world. The end product was still very nice. I have already recommended Jeff to some very good friends of mine who are imminently closing on their first home. I will definitely recommend him to others!

Jeff and his team did a great job on the siding. They worked hard and they cleaned up after themselves as they worked. The people on Jeff's team were very nice, polite, and respectful. Jeff was good at containing costs. He is also very approachable and explains everything. The project did take twice as long as we originally estimated. Part of that was due to the fact that more damage was found after all the old siding was removed. Part of it seemed to be due to the team moving off to other projects. Part of it was due to winter rains. One of the painters that was on the subcontracted team did poor work. But Jeff fixed it. Overall, I am happy and I would hire Jeff again. As a side note, we had a plumbing disaster on a Saturday shortly after the the siding was completed. It had nothing to do with Jeff at all, but I called him on his cell crack of dawn. He came over as soon as he could on Saturday and helped us assess what to do and also helped us find a good plumber and pick a solution. So I have to say that Jeff went far over and above in helping us in our time of emergency. I can't imagine any other contractor coming over so quickly on the weekend to help with something that had no potential give him more business. It was just a personal favor from him to us.

Jeff was great and very patient with me. It took a while for me to get the proper documentation and Jeff was happy to come out to my place and give me a quote 3 different times. He was always very honest and open about the process and what would be involved. He didn't try to sell me on any 'extras' or convince me certain things must be done. Once the paperwork was all squared away, he and his team came out to my place and began work immediately. Each day they left the place in a very clean condition. They took precautions against damage and completed the work much faster than originally estimated. I would definitely recommend them to others.

We were new the the remodeling experience and Jeff took extra time to walk us through options and make plans before getting started, which was appreciated. Jeff Bressler is a friendly contractor and the quality of the work was top-notch. He offered a very competitive price and assured that we were completely satisfied with the final product. The project had some set-backs, a few out of his control (e.g. weather delays) and a few that he could have avoided with the on-site presence of a good project manager (he fired his project manager shortly after the project initiated). We would have appreciated a bit more communication as additional work was identified (and associated costs) that would be necessary for the project. Obviously dry rot is difficult to identify without removing walls, but we felt some of the finish options could have been reviewed with us during the beginning stage as opposed to the final weeks of the project.

Update: the contractor response is only half true. I am a picky customer and i expect the work to be done correctly the first time and I do not appreciate catching mistakes the contractor should catch (like incorrect framing, or incorrectly putting up the water barrier in the bathroom. So no, i can't be pleased with shoddy work. To end on a positive note, Jeff did correct all issues. but the issues contributed to a project that went way over schedule and it was very frustrating. Many mistakes should have been found earlier. It's good to hear the PM was fired. If you hire JAB, make sure Jeff stops by every few days..he knows what he's doing but some of the subs need to be closely monitored. Overall the work was okay. At the end of the day they delivered a good job but it took a lot of recorrection of the work. They had to do a lot of the work twice because it was not done right the first time. The project manager was not the best project manager for the job. The owner of the company was good and worked with us.

They are professional and responsive. We interviewed several contractors and we can tell they are experienced. They have given us fairly sage advice. We are trying to decide if we should spend the money on the project or buy another house.

Overall it went very smooth. They worked quickly and did a good job of cleaning up each day. I made a mistake when I initially measured for the tile, I was over 100 sq ft short! They informed me as soon as they realized the issue, and worked with me to complete other tasks until the additional tile arrived.. This included having the tile folks out twice to install and grout. They were very responsive when I pointed out problems and corrected them quickly.

We first contacted Jeff a year ago when we were first thinking about adding on to our house. After several months we decided to move forward with drawings and contacted Jeff again. We met with Jeff several times, he spent a lot of his time preparing our estimate and answering dozens of questions. When it came down to Jeff and another contractor he was very responsive and understanding our of situation and adjusted his bid to be as competitive as possible. Throughout the process Jeff was extremely easy to work with and get a hold of and I am sure that he would be a great person to work with. Also for what it is worth, he was the first contractor of probably 10-15 to notice a powerline that had to be moved for our project.

I found this company thru Angie's. They came in with the best bid, by a significant amount. They ONLY worked on my house, not juggling projects. They said that would be the way they would do it when they bid the job; I was so surprised that is really what they did. I NEVER had to call them and ask when they'd be coming, what they'd be doing, etc. They ALWAYS called me and let me know how the job would unfold. These guys were great, professional, knowledgeable, prompt. I have used them again since my house job and would recommend them most highly. This was a wonderful experience.

Lousy. I left 2 messages with the guy, and he wasn't even professional enough to return my calls. I could understand if he didn't want the job because it was too small, but to not even return not one but two calls to tell me so is extremely unprofessional.

JEFF BRESSLER IS THE OWNER OF THIS COMPANY. HE IS VERY VERSATILE AND CAN FIX ALMOST ANYTHING. HE IS PROMPT AND ALWAYS OFFERS REALLY GOOD SOLUTIONS FOR THOSE THINGS THAT NEED ATTENTION.

JEFF BRESSLER WHO IS THE OWNER OF JAB CONSTRUCTION WAS EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE TO OUR NEEDS. WE HAD A LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT NEEDED REPAIR INSIDE OUR HOME. HE TOOK THE LIST AND WORKED ON THE HIGH PRIORITY ONES FIRST AND THEN WORKED ON THOSE THAT COULD WAIT. SOME OF THE REPAIRS ONLY TOOK A FEW MINUTES AND HE DIDN'T EVEN CHARGE US FOR THOSE.
